Uvea.
Tho explosion occurred Within
few minutes after half a hundred em
ployes, working on an early thlt, had
left tho building. Less than 100
persons, Including the mechanical
force and the editorial fo "ce, keeplm;
"late watch," were In the building
Tho exploslvo which caut'od the ca
taatropho evidently hail ueeu placed
directly beneath tho composing room
The floor of this department w.is lift
od through tho celling, Ilnotyp1!, op-
orntors and compositors being hurled
through tho walla Into the Jtnets,
Immediately tho building was envoi
oped In a sheet of flames.
Within ten minutes escape from
tho uppor floors was Impossible. Doz
ens of torrlfled employes leaped from
tho second story windows to tho
pavement. Among these was Nlsht
Editor Harvey Elder. Ho was seri
ously and probably fatally hurt.
Every piece of Are apparatus In
tho city answered the alarm I m mod I
ately. The flames were under control
in an hour, after they had almost to
tally destroyed the great heap of de
bris resulting from tho explosion
-A police dragnet has been spread
about the city. P.hlef Galloway de
dared 'this morning that several
clows regarding ?th'e IdentltyVof. th3,
men responsible for tho explosion
havo been Unearthed,. 1 . . ,.,
Officers of tho North End police
station, losjj than, a block from tho
Times building, saw sovoral men run
ning from an" alley In tlie rear'of tho
structure threo minutes before tho
explosion, Tho explosion appears to
"have centered near tho alley from
which tho mon appoarod. '
Two mon were nrrestod as suspects
shortly after daybreak. Tho pollco
refused to reveal their names.
Managing Editor Andrews supple
monted a statement made early to
day, In -which ho attempted to placp
tho responsibility for tho horror by
saying:
"Dynnmlto arid bombs and flro.
Very fitting weapons for such a doed.
Wo had recolvod numerous throats
that this dastardly deed would bo at
tempted. Tho- elements that con-;
spired to perpotrato the horror must
no be permitted to prosecute thelrj Tho detonation was heard for milea
unlawful campaign."
A folio edition of the Times was
printed at a branch ofllco this mom
lng. It was quickly gobbled up by
tho thousands that thronged the
streets In the neighborhood of the
wrecked building.
General Harrison Gray Otis, cdl
tor and publisher of tho Times, is i
Mexico. Ho telegraphed this morn
ing thnt he will start for Los Ange
les at once.
Tho following statement waa issued
this morning by C. P. Grow, business
agent of the Machinists' Lodge, No.
311, International Association of Ma
chiulsts:
"1 desire to state that tho unfor
tunate hapening at the Times plant
caused the sympathy of every union
man in tho cly of Los Angeles for
tho loss of life and Injury to cm
ployes. That any man affiliated with
the labor unions hero could have
anything to do with this explosion
and flro is out of tho question. Wo
make no war with bombs or ajhor
weapons than the usual propaganda
Wo fight tho enemies of union labor
under the recognized economic laws
Violence has always been condemned
and wo do not recognize that as
means of success. The unions here
are ready and anxious to aid tne
police and other authorities by every
means in their power to find tho
cause of tho explosion at the Times
building."
Chief of Police Galloway this morn
lng Issued the following statement:
That tho Times building ,war
wrecked by dynamite seems certain
from all my men can learn. Thero'
are about 100 patrolmen on duty at
tho Are now, and most of the detec
tives. We havo found iomo things
that seem to point to tho authors of
this calamity. 'Whether'-thoy vlll
end in any real result iff impossible
tb tell now,' but 1' do know whethor
they do or not, tho police will keep
at It without rest until this whole
mater Is laid bare."
Mayor Alexander this morning
called a special meeting of the ctyy
quncll to discuss tho explosion. He
refused to state what.nctlon the coun
cil would probably tnko. Chief of
Pollco Galloway and tho couucllmen
wero summoned by mossongers, and
ordered to report at tho council
chamber in the city hall at onco.
"All I can say now rogardlng this
nftalr, Is that ovory department of tho
city government will bo cnHed upon
to do Its share to sift tho matter to
tho bottom. If human agoncy was
responsible for his, wo will And out,"
said Mayor Alexandor.'
Tho oxploslon occurred at 1:07
this mornings Clocks In adjacent
buildings woro stopped at that hour.
around the city. Tho concussion
shattered windows for a radius of
several blocks.
Within flvo minutes after tho first
explosion, which appeared to be fol
lowed by other convulsions, tho en
tiro building was a mass of flames
The windows of the upper floors
wero quickly crowded with terrified
men and women. Two mon, appar
ently running from tho terrible
flames within, plunged llko hurdlers
through a third-floor window, both
falling between street car tracks, 40
feet away.
Their crumbled and broken bodies
wero quickly surrounded by gaping
crowds. The pollco wero compelled
to use night sticks to force tho mob
back.
Men rushed from twisted door
ways, useless arms dangling at their
sides, and in several cases their faces
seared and distorted almost beyond
recognition.
Within 20 minutes wives and
mothers of the men who wero a'.
work in the building were hyiitcrlc
ally besieging the police linos. Tears
of joy when Lome loved one Joliwd
rui anxlety-atrlcken group on tho out
ride of the tiuliding wero mingle..
v.Ith the cries ot anguish from other
wrmon's Hps when they woro leJ to
vl.cro brokon and unconsctoua bodies
ley awaiting l.'pltal ambulance;
When the fiwmen arrived, nets
wero quickly stretched beneath the
windows. At least a dozen lives
wero saved by these contrivances
For many years tho Times Has
waged relentless war on organized
labor. Strained relations havo et-
lsted between General Harrison Gray
Otis and the labor leaders eve since
organized labor began to be a factor
in tho development of tho city.
Recently, according to Managing'
Editor Andrews, these relations have
almost reached the breaking point,
sinco tho precipitation of the brew
ers 'and iron workers strikes here
lx months ngo.
Less than a month ago a stand of
GO Springfield rifles was purchased
and lnstnlled In the tower room 'In
the fourth floor of tho building. This
fact had been kept secrot. It was
admitted by Andrews today.
Last week a case of sawed-off shot
guns, which hnd stood in tho man-
gl'ng editor's offijo, was moved Into
tho reporters' room.
That the Times management Is sin-
core In Its charge that human agency
was responsible for tho holocaust Is
and covering tho earnings of working
girls, their expenditures for shelter,
food, clothing, etc., and their un
certain struggle to preserve health
and vitality. Tho series opens with
an article on New York department
Btoro1 girls, In which the stories of
Individual workers are given In de
tall.
The. fiction In this number Is
strong and distinctive. Perhaps tho
most striking story is "A Tale Out
of Season", by Elsie Slngmaster. The
second of Perceval Gibbon's "Ad
ventures of Miss Grogory" Is a vivid
searchlight cast on one of the dark
corners of the African coast. "Mrs
Landy's Castaway," by Freeman
Putnoy, Jr., and "The Widow Who
Couldn't Shoot," by Franklin K. Glf
ford, aro the other two stories in
this number.

printed In the folio edition of tho
paper issued thls morning:
. "It rocked little to tho man who
placed tho' bombs which wrecked a
splendid uowspapor plant that 100
;jjnon were n work on the various
floors, busily engaged In getting' out

stant that tho bombs wero exploded

sult of tho hellish work lives woro
probably lost' and other lives prec
ious to wives, children and relatives
wero In deadly peril.
"Tho bombs wero planted by ox
porlencod hands. They did the work
for which they wore Intended, at
least temporarily, to crlpplo.
"It would sBem that thero was no
escape. Tho murdorors hnd. planned
with hellish cunning."

At the request of Mayor Alexand
or, the Los Angeles union labor lead
ors this morning announced that they
had called off tho union labor parade

stated, was dono expressly because

The October Outing.
Tho October number of Tho Outing
Magazine is most seasonable. The
articles were especially selected to
meet tho requirements of out-door
enthusiasts at this time of the year
Probably the most Important are
those contributed by Walter Camp
and Dillon Wallace.
Mr. Camp, In his article "Tho New
Football", views tho game from the
standpoint of the spectator. He
gives his own Ideas as to tho needs
of a team under tho new rules, the
troubles of tho officials, ana just how
the new rulers will affect the game.
Dillon Wallace, who In June start
ed on a horseback trip through the
Rocky Mountains, discusses the first
stage of this trip. Mr. Wallace has
always been a' forceful writer and
his present experiences, fresh from
the' field, give a most unusual
description of the present conditions
n tho Rockies.
Edward Breck, better known as
Eddy" of "The Tent-Dwellers", has
an article "Calling tho Moose" which
besides giving well timed advice has
some of the author's own experiences.
The fiction which "gets right
homo" consists of fA Brigand of the
Wild", a most readable bird story of
the ravages of a Magpie;' 'Tho Kid
of the Cow Boys", a story of Western
ranch life; and "Tho Lako of the
Abounding Trout, which, by the way,
abounded mostly In muskles very
amusing and breezy. Taking It all
in all this Issue satisfies the most
critical of out-door enthuslnsts.
